Our medical providers are all licensed in the United States and boast years of clinical experience and specialized knowledge in weight loss. In conjunction with our expert medical team, Harper’s partners with distinguished health leaders to design tailored and effective weight management plans that align with your individual biology and lifestyle.

HarperMD affiliated providers can prescribe a range of different medications tailored to complement your biological makeup to aid in weight loss. Our program incorporates FDA-approved anti-obesity medications as well as other medicines prescribed “off-label.” Extensive clinical evidence supports the effectiveness of these medications in facilitating weight loss. “Off-label prescribing,” or prescribing a medication for a purpose other than its original approval, is a legal, safe, and widely practiced method—approximately 1 out of every 5 prescriptions in the U.S. follows this practice. Your clinician will conduct a thorough review of your medical and weight history, along with your lifestyle, to devise a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your unique biology. It’s important to note that prescriptions are at the discretion of the medical provider, and HarperMD respects their autonomy without interference in their medical judgment.

HarperMD employs third-party pharmacy fulfillment partners to dispatch most medications directly to our members.

Semaglutide is classified as a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, falling into a category of medications. It mimics the action of the GLP-1 hormone naturally released in the gastrointestinal tract after meals. GLP-1 plays multiple roles, including stimulating insulin production to lower blood glucose levels. Additionally, increased levels of GLP-1 interact with brain regions responsible for suppressing appetite and inducing feelings of satiety. Learn more about Semaglutide

FDA-approved for both diabetes and weight loss, Tirzepatide combines Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and Gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP).

Clinical trials, such as SURMOUNT-1, have demonstrated Tirzepatide’s effectiveness, with overweight and obese individuals achieving up to 22.5% weight loss over a 72-week period.  Learn more about Tirzepatide
